[edit] Plot

After being elected Boating School Hall Monitor, SpongeBob reads out a very long speech, and winds up wasting the entire day. Out of sympathy, Mrs Puff allows SpongeBob to at least wear his uniform until the next day. However, SpongeBob goes above and beyond the call of duty, first trying to guide traffic stuck at a red light (and causing a massive pile-up,) and then ends up perpetrating a rumor of the Open-Window Maniac (ironically himself). Then, SpongeBob finds Patrick littering his strawberry ice cream, and labels him as a criminal. When a front page newspaper headline alerts SpongeBob about a maniac causing trouble around town, he lets Patrick turn over a new leaf as a deputy. They end up getting ice cream twice (Patrick's idea of a scandal), but then SpongeBob and Patrick try and find the maniac using walkie-talkies. Two policemen ask Patrick if he's seen the maniac, and they show him a picture of SpongeBob. It suddenly gets dark and Patrick gets frightened. SpongeBob eventually meets up with Patrick, but not face to face. Soon, after lots of shenanigans, SpongeBob finds out he is the maniac. The police are about to arrest SpongeBob, but Mrs. Puff tells the officers that she was his responsibility. Mrs. Puff ends up getting arrested.

[edit] Quotes

(Downtown Bikini Bottom)

Patrick: SpongeBob! I see him!

SpongeBob: Where is he, Patrick?

Patrick: At the intersection of Conch and Coral. (SpongeBob turns to see the street signs "Conch" and "Coral")

SpongeBob: That's where I am! He's right on top of me, but I can’t see him! What’s he doing?

Patrick: Um, he’s just standing there… menacingly! (screaming over walkie-talkie) GET OUT OF THERE, SPONGEBOB!

SpongeBob: AAAAAHHHHH!!!

Patrick: That’s his maniac screech. He’s going to attack! (SpongeBob is running around in circles crying) He’s acting all crazy! Run! Hide behind that building! (SpongeBob does so) No, he's behind that building! Quick, hide behind that street sign! (Sponge does) No wait! The maniac just went behind that sign! Quick! Get under the street light! (Sponge does) No wait, he’s there too! Run for your life! (Sponge does, and jumps inside a mailbox. Relieved, he relaxes. He hears interference on his walkie-talkie, and answers it)

SpongeBob: Say again, deputy?

Patrick: The maniac is in the mailbox!

SpongeBob: AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! (Runs around in the mailbox, demolishing some buildings) (A "Wanted Sign" with SpongeBob's picture on it falls in SpongeBob's hands).

SpongeBob: Huh… this guy’s not half-bad-looking for a maniac. …wait a minute, Patrick. I’m the maniac!

Patrick: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
